How about this:

    std::wstring wstr = L"foo";
    Glib::ustring ustr = Glib::ustring::format(wstr);

:-D

I know, I know, it's not exactly obvious.  But nonetheless a nice side
effect of the fact that ustring::format() is based on wide streams.  And
yes, you can rely on this on any platform that supports wide streams at
all.
